Physical and chemical characteristics, antioxidant properties and the effect of the newly synthesized peptide on lipid deposition in cells
A novel peptide, CG-16, with the sequence CHAECGAACKEFCLEG, was designed and synthesized. Studies were conducted to assess its physicochemical properties, antioxidant activity, and effects on lipid deposition in cells in an in vitro experiment. It was established that the CG-16 peptide does not contain antigenic determinants. A search across the PeptideAtlas, UniProt, and the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) databases confirmed ...
On physicochemical properties of microalgae of the Baltic Sea
... microalgae have not been studied well enough. Thus, the purpose of this project was to study the physicochemical properties of microalgae of the Baltic Sea in the Kaliningrad region. The amount of protein was determined by the Bradford method, while lipids were assessed by the Folch method. As a result of the work, it was proved that the maximum value of the indicator — optical density — was noted in the microalgae Chlorella vulgaris. Pleurochrysis carterae and Arthrospira platensis are characterized ...
